About Molete

Molete is a traditional Mexican bread roll, closely resembling a bollillo but slightly softer and more rounded. It is made from simple ingredients such as wheat flour, water, yeast, salt, and sometimes a small amount of sugar or fat. This bread is a staple in Mexican cuisine and is often enjoyed as a side dish or used as the base for sandwiches and other dishes. Molete is low in fat but provides a source of carbohydrates, making it a quick energy option. However, its nutritional profile depends on preparation and accompaniments—adding rich fillings or spreads can increase calories and fats. As a part of a balanced diet, molete can be a wholesome component when paired with nutrient-rich toppings like avocado, beans, or lean proteins.
